OK, I'm making myself crazy (er) again...
ALWAYS loved the look of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SVT8. Much lower than other SUVs obviously!
I've got the bug really bad, so started to seriously look at them, have spent hours on the net looking...
2010 has a longer warranty, 3yr/36k basic, 5yr/100k Powertrain. So I'm aiming for a '10.
6.1liter Hemi V8 - 420hp, 420 lb-ft at 4,800
4WD but very basic, they removed all the offroad "stuff". Still very beefy at about 5,000 lbs.
and check out those big beefy red Brembos!
I'd love to get black again but I just won't do it on a dirt road, so I'm looking at two different reds they offer.
Here's the thing.....I've never owned an American car, and am still somewhat scared to buy a Jeep.
I can't find one anywhere in AZ to go see.
All reviews I've read about reliability are favorable, and it's been in production since '06.
I joined the SRT forum (SRT8 Kat...imagine that), and am trying to get info from past posts, and members. Interesting observation.... there's like 500 peeps online at any given time....
Anybody have any experience with this beast? Reliability, issues, ride, comfort, etc?
And hey it gets around 10-12 MPG with some restraint on the skinny
pedal, 8-9 if not!
Obviously very skinny rubber bands, and I've read the ride is very rough on rough, uneven pothole roads. What's that they say "rough"?....they don't know what ROUGH IS!
But seriously, I'm wondering if I can get some meats a little taller, so more sidewall w/o adding width. Fronts are 255/45-20, rear 285/40-20.
First 3 pics are one color (Red Rock Crystal), next 3 are another color (Inferno Red).....so close...and last pic I don't know which it is (yet).
Red Rock has a bit more orange hue, whereas the Inferno is more a cherry red.......decisions decisions....
RED ROCK CRYSTAL
INFERNO RED
I DON'T KNOW WHICH RED THIS IS:
